Fantastic review James. The picture viewer in particular makes it nice and easy to compare.

As an android user, I've been a bit frustrated that each iteration of the iphone that comes along seems to trounce the android flagships. The gap now is smaller than ever, but..... well there's another iphone coming in the next few months, so who knows how that'll change the game.

I'm currently rocking a Z2. I use the dedicated shutter button all the time and make sure to half press to focus, wait til I get the shot I want, and then do a full shutter press to get the shot. I find it works will (esp. for kids!).

I had a G2 up until not too long ago and for me it was a good example of how OIS could ruin shots instead of help them. The shutter would open for far too long (I guess it was thinking "Waaahey OIS!!") and any pics of the kids taken in less than perfectly light would come out as a blurry mess.

I've just released a free app to the app store which enables the user to create a nice animated transition gif between two images - a "before" and an "after" image. The user chooses (or snaps) a "before" image, which appears as a transparent overlay on top of the camera viewfinder so that you can perfectly align the "after" image before taking it.

Here's an example of a couple of gifs produced by the application

Please try it out and let me know what you think! All feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Some people might argue that it's because The Cloud is reducing dependency on local storage.

This is, of course, complete nonsense. Some android games these days take up about 1.5gb of storage. Also, if I take a photo/video I would like it to be backed up to the cloud, but i'd still like a copy on my phone that I can look at.

I agree that those are crazy prices, but according to The Register, you get a free bolt-on if you take 4g:

" For starters, those signing up can choose one of three bundles: Music, Gaming or Live TV.
That's either a free subscription to music service Deezer for groove-inclined mobile users, two games a month for the roaming button basher, or access to EE's exclusive telly service for travelling gogglebox addicts. The latter provides streams of up to 19 channels including Eurosport and Cartoon Network.Adventure Time on your phone… mathematical."

Now, if you were going to get deezer anyway (a tenner a month), you could effectively take 10 pounds off the tariffs above, no? Mightn't sound so bad.

Still not for me though (i've got the smallest pockets you've ever seen)
